>You don’t see Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock, and Tom Cruise painting their faces to win roles, but this color-changing gambit has practically become required of black dramatic actors who want to appear in big-budget movies
Yes, only allow white people to do voice roles. Brilliant.

Completely the point. If wearing makeup or doing voice acting is "erasure" of some kind then it's being done more to whites than anyone else. Christ, Idris Elba is first in line to be the next James Bond and this article is a somehow a thing. Maybe, just maybe, people of color starring in animated or science fiction films is not the result of some mass racial conspiracy, you fuckwit.

Do you not go to Literally any other website? This shit is everywhere and ignoring it isn't going to fix anything. Even JJ Abrams was sucked in and said he's going to focus specifically on more diverse casting for the sake of diversity.

No thanks. JJ Abrams should also be ignored.

This article has a lot of merit. I, for one, would much rather have had a big, black man scolding Judy Hopps than the utterly RACIST buffalo in a movie full of animals.
I can't believe they got away with this.

Jayden Ross
I've wondered about this before, thinking to myself why it seemed like a lot of major black actors I saw were covered in paint or makeup.
Thanks to the replies in this thread, I now realize this is due to my own unconscious racist thought processes, which is most likely the case for the author of this article as well. Somehow I automatically ignored the white actors doing voiced or painted parts while "accepting" that the black actors were doing what they could to get a part, facepaint be damned. Let this process feed into itself and you get tumblrist SJWesque thinking, folks.

Not just not showing their face, lots of people didn't even get credited. We only found out the name of the dude who played Greedo like 6 months ago.

Three members of the avengers are now black. Name one Asian, hispanic, indian, native american, Eskimo. Oh you can't? I swear im not white, im not black, and I have said this on and on black people are the biggest mother fucking whiners on the planet. Victims till the end I suppose. One day they may actually rule the world, and enslave white people but complain that they didnt do it as fast as whitey. Fuck black complainers, not the people, but this bitches who make their race look like privileged whiny brats

Shit like this used to make me mad but now I lol, only because these nitpicking sjw faux-outrage progressives only accomplish making themselves look like children when non-issues like this are brought up
I'm sorry you only get 15% of roles and screen time when you make up only 15% of the target audience. I thought equal representation was what you wanted? Or do you want supremacy instead of equality?

One of those fucking movies had an on screen black lead. And then one of the actresses they're bitching about is openly black in the one they're bitching about another black actor not being black on screen. Jesus Christ, there is no winning with these perpetually butthurt cuckolds.
Jackson Thomas
Do you literal niggers even know the shit Andy Serkis has to go through to get Ocars, ironically for playing you?

>JJ Abrams was sucked in and said he's going to focus specifically on more diverse casting for the sake of diversity
No he didn't. He didn't say "for the sake of diversity", he said he was going to focus on trying to keep a diverse cast. It's diversity so that he can create a product that will appeal to people of all walks of life, and help to keep a balance rather than automatically favouring white actors which is easy to do considering white people are the majority and therefore white features are generally considered more attractive.
Agree or disagree with these points, but it's not "for the sake of diversity" there are thought out reasons for it, and they're not as illogical as you'd like to make out. I don't understand why this is a bad thing, if the issues presented are true, if Hollywood is too white, why is it such a crime to put an effort into offering roles to a diverse cast? We all have racial biases whether we care to admit them or not.
